I love Goddard! The curriculum is rich and engaging, the teachers are kind and caring, and the staff are organized and friendly! I can see how much my daughter is learning and growing every day. Can’t say enough great things about Goddard!
The communication and education that our girls have received is like non other! We love all of the teachers and staff!
The staff are exceptional! I love the structure their classrooms provide and creative learning activities they do. My son is learning so very much!
We love the school and staff. It has been such a wonderful transition for our family.
As an educator myself, I am aware of the preschool standards and feel that the Goddard School is absolutely top notch in how they train teachers on the GOLD assessment and give parents great feedback not only as to what their child ate/napped, but also what they LEARNED, which is my primary focus. I will recommend the Goddard School to anyone I know who is looking (or not looking). I have never been more confident in a school that either one of my daughters have attended!
Teachers provide genuine and individualized care, wonderful curriculum and activities, staff and leadership ensure exceptional teachers and resources, exceptional communication
The environment is very welcoming and love all the staff. The teachers really do a great job of planning out the kiddos days with concepts that allow them to learn and grow.
I cannot sing high enough praises about my 3 year old's experience at Goddard. She is always learning, having fun, and doing so many activities. She feels so loved by her teachers and is excited for school every day. The communication with parents is second to none. Highly recommend!
